TL;DR
This paper reports the first complete mitochondrial genome of a Chinese firefly and uses it to explore its evolutionary relationships.
Contribution
The study provides the first complete mitochondrial genome of Pyrocoelia amplissima and its phylogenetic placement within the genus.
Findings
The mitochondrial genome is 17,426 bp long with 13 PCGs, 23 tRNAs, 2 rRNAs, and a control region.
Phylogenetic analysis places P. amplissima basally within its genus.
The genome has a high A + T content of 76.91%.
Abstract
We presents the first complete mitochondrial genome of Pyrocoelia amplissima (Olivier, 1886) (Coleoptera: Lampyridae: Pyrocoelia), a Chinese endemic firefly. The 17,426 bp circular genome contains 13 PCGs, 23 tRNAs, 2 rRNAs, and a control region with a notable A + T bias (76.91%). Phylogenetic analysis of 12 firefly species using 13 PCGs places P. amplissima basally within its genus. This complete mitochondrial genome provides valuable genetic information for further research on Lampyridae.
